Our adventure begins in Jaworzyna Tatrzańska, where the blue trail first leads along an asphalt road beside the Jaworowy Stream. After 30 minutes, we reach Polana Gałajdowa – the view of Lodowy Szczyt and the limestone Muráň is breathtaking. Then, we immerse ourselves in forest paths, passing picturesque meadows and wooden sculptures that add charm to the trail.
Soon, we reach the Brama Koperszadzka – a narrow rocky pass, beyond which the valley reveals its greatest beauty.
